UEFA Champions League

Two things were at play tonight:

Liverpool were probably gutted by Kompany's late goal yesterday, giving them increased desperation

Liverpool missing Salah and Firmino probably both played in the heads of Barca, as well as what Bill Simmons calls "the Ewing Factor," sometimes when a team is missing a great player, everybody rallies (a cousin of the "we're being disrespected" card) affecting the remaining LFC players....I mean, Origi scoring two goals off the bench? Allison with those saves? C'mon, man.

Incredible. This is up there with Istanbul....as long as they win the next one.
